Answer to Question 1

For most vegetables, the original color intensified when cooked with baking soda.

Answer to Question 2

Most of the vegetables were mushy with the baking soda added because baking soda rapidly breaks down the hemicellulose that is in plant walls.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
